Ingredients

1 can chickpeas (240 g, drained)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

Drain the canned chickpeas and rinse them under cold running water.

Step 3

Spread the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and pat them thoroughly dry. Removing excess moisture helps them become crispier.

Step 4

Transfer the chickpeas to a bowl, add the olive oil, and toss until evenly coated.

Step 5

Place the chickpeas in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 190°C (375°F) for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

Step 6

While the chickpeas are still hot, transfer them to a bowl. Add the salt, black pepper, chili powder, paprika, and cumin. Toss well to coat evenly.

Step 7

Allow the chickpeas to cool slightly, then enjoy them as a crunchy snack or use them as a topping for salads. Enjoy!
